Was she a racist? I guess so I don't know much about her. Does that taint everything Planned Parenthood has done from it's founding up until today? It seems so... but, it shouldn't. Should they apologize on her behalf with every new generation? Let's call it every 15 years... every 15 years PP should apologize. The U.S. should apologize for slavery every time we elect a new president. Blah Blah Blah. It happened. It wasn't our fault. Our only responsibility should be to REMEMBER so, we don't allow things like that to happen again.
BTW Robert I expect you to apologize to me on the next Vherf for what lawyers and judges have done in the past... You can start with an apology on behalf of the lawyers and judges who presided over Buck vs Bell. Seems reasonable... right?
Reminds me of the Tommy Boy joke with the Butcher...

There are books written about her, her cause and her work. There's the internet to run on to hit a cursory search and have that at your fingertips. In this case we have the words coming right out of her mouth.
“We must discourage the defective and diseased elements of humanity from their reckless and irresponsible swarming and spawning.”Here she's advocating eliminating the handicapped and mentally ill by killing them before they reproduce. So, in this is she the arbiter of some pure "master race"?
“The mass of Negroes, particularly in the South, still breed carelessly and disastrously, with the result that the increase among Negroes, even more than among Whites, is from that portion of the population least intelligent and fit.”
“We propose to hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. And we do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”There's no hidden meaning here. At all. It's black and white clear as crystal. There is no mistaking the intent. Can you fathom if America had taken her completely at her words and followed through with them? They were baby stepped and still in operation today though. She advocated putting her butcher shops in poorer neighborhoods by design. She targeted her audience with precision. Today, its mainstreet and vogue. No stigma associated with it.
“The most merciful thing a large family can do to one of its infant members is to kill it.”I'm going to say, at the time when she was alive...farming was a "family" business. To this day it feeds America. Also, Catholics not practicing child birth methods tended to have larger families. Can we reach a compromise with her words that make her attack a core family and their religious beliefs? I really don't know what else she means with a statement like that.
“The government of the United States deliberately encourages and even makes necessary by its laws the breeding--with a breakneck rapidity--of idiots, defectives, diseased, feebleminded, and criminal classes. Billions of dollars are expended by our state and federal governments and by private charities and philanthropies for the care, the maintenance, and the perpetuation of these classes. Year by year their numbers are mounting. Year by year more money is expended . . . to maintain an increasing race of morons which threatens the very foundations of our civilization.”They're called hospitals, jails and prisons Margret. I'm beginning to believe she hated competition in the entire "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" thingy that all citizens of America enjoy. I cannot fathom a world were the reverse is celebrated. "Death, Slavery and the Pursuit of Despair". Who in their right mind would start a revolution and the birth of a nation predicated on that?
“We can all vote, even the mentally arrested. And so it is no surprise to find that the moron’s vote is as good as the vote of the genius. The outlook is not a cheerful one.”Remember when they called W a chimp and all his supporters morons? Yeah. That got us to Obama. Not ready for primetime but we got 8 years of it. There was very little criticism of his administration because immediately you were branded a racist. He gave a keynote speech and awarded Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. the very first Planned Parenthood Federation of America Margaret Sanger Award. You can't make this stuff up! THIS really happened. The first black American President awarding the deceased father of the Civil Rights Movement that ushered in equality an award from an institution that wanted them dead. Sanger wanted both of them dead.
Dr. King wrote, “Our sure beginning in the struggle for equality by non-violent, direct action may not have been so resolute without the tradition established by Margaret Sanger and people like her.”
That struggle for equality is not over and now we are at one of those rare moments where we can actually transform our politics in a fundamental way. But it’s going to take people as resolute as Mrs. Sanger and Dr. King—people like your own Cecile Richards—it’s going to take young people like Ariana. It’s going to take millions of voices coming together to insist that it’s not enough just to stand still. That it’s not enough to safeguard the gains of the past—that it is time to be resolute and time to march forward.Talk about being tone deaf and pandering only for the pro-abortion bloc he would willingly sacrifice his own race by giving away awards to a real leader from an avowed racist's platform. How degenerate does one have to go to do that, to not recognize the inherent evil and to not have the common sense to turn his back from this? So, I can see how the above quote fits...Obama gave way to Trump and that brings us even lower to Biden. We're living in a comparison universe of "Idiocracy" and its really happening!
“The dullard, the gawk, the numbskull, the simpleton, the weakling, and the scatterbrain are amongst us in overshadowing numbers--intermarrying, breeding, inordinately prolific, literally threatening to overwhelm the world with their useless and terrifying get.”
“Birth control appeals to the advanced radical because it is calculated to undermine the authority of the Christian churches. I look forward to seeing humanity free someday of the tyranny of Christianity no less than Capitalism.”This brings me to the point where it's been discussed on this board before. Wheelrite was knowledgeable on Sanger and it struck a chord with me. I reached out and PM'd him through this site. We exchanged messages and eventually phone numbers. He was passionate about how this individual was allowed to become accepted based on her belief structure of judging entire races of people and their abilities with a desire to kill them all. Take a look at almost every Democrat and they will be an avowed PP supporter. The rabid ones would claim outlandish things like
In a speech to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America Awards Gala, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said that she admires "Margaret Sanger enormously, her courage, her tenacity, her vision." Secretary Clinton said she is "really in awe of" Sanger for Sanger’s early work in Brooklyn, New York, "taking on archetypes, taking on attitudes and accusations flowing from all directions."Sanger?!? The very same person that the Nazis looked to for guidance for the "Final Solution" with the Jewish people celebrated? Yet, there she is tearing down race AND the Capitalism. She's advocating for a state ran kill machine!
“The most serious charge that can be brought against modern benevolence is that it encourages the perpetuation of defectives, delinquents, and dependents. These are the most dangerous elements in the world community, the most devestating curse on human progress and expression. Philanthropy is a gesture characteristic of modern business lavishing upon the unfit the profits extorted from the community at large. Looked at impartially, this compensatory generosity is in its final effect probably more dangerous, more dysgenic, more blighting than the initial practice of profiteering.”No, she's baring it all with unvarnished glory. Accept and complete her mission or you're an undesirable. A Deplorable if you will...see how the pervasive mentality seeps into the Consciousness of Reality? Its here and now as acceptable as going to a church Bible study. I miss Bill. On this topic we could talk with each other and even though we agreed we would show each other this and that and "did you know" banter. I understood him and it was a Top 10 moment for me with my personal relationship with the CBid forum and being a BOTL was meeting him...several times, but it was the back channel PM's phone calls and emails that we shared. We were aligned on this blight of Mankind. I'm not looking for any kind of apology for her. History glossed over what and who she was to usher in her belief system. Monetarism with a twist of Death at the American taxpayer's cost. You can't opt out. If you're against it, you pay for it. That is the tragedy of it all.
